re: Dog just got skunked.

Posted by consumptive_use on 6/29/23 at 11:27 pm

The mixture should be reapplied several times. Without getting to much into the chemistry, the mixture doesn't mask the smell, it changes the structure of the mercaptins (stink compounds) so that they can be encapsulated by the soap and washed away. However, striped skunks have 2 additional compoun...

re: How far to relocate raccoon?

Posted by consumptive_use on 6/6/23 at 7:55 am

Check your state laws. Most states prohibit or regulate the release of raccoons. You can also check to see if you have a county or municipal agency that will come pick it up and euthanize it. ...

Be careful of falling into the trap of trying to do too much in 1 trip. You have listed at the minimum, bass fishing, white perch fishing, running noodles, kayaking, potentially bank/dock fishing, and relaxing. I fell into this trap the first several times I planned the weekend up there. TB is ...

Posted by consumptive_use on 2/20/23 at 11:55 pm

First, find out if you have "gophers", "moles", or "voles". Two of the 3 are subsurface (gophers, moles). Two of the 3 are rodents (gophers and voles). Most likely you have pocket gophers, but additional information is needed. Describe how they are destroying the backyard. Dirt mounds; runw...

re: Swallow Tailed Kite

Posted by consumptive_use on 7/30/22 at 8:51 am

The process we used to catch them is pretty cool as well. Great horned owls are kite nest predators. The kites react very aggressively when one is around. You either find a nest or find an open feeding location, such as a pond/dragonflies, near a nest. Put up a 20 ft high net and tether an a...

Pics aren't great but it is probably a shrew and likely a Blarina brevicauda. Pocket gophers and moles have specialized front limbs and feet for digging. This critter doesn't. The fur and elongated rostrum look like a shrew. It is robust like a Blarina and has a short single colored tail....

re: What movies did you rent as a child?

Posted by consumptive_use on 3/15/21 at 1:28 am

Growing up, we didn't rent many movies. The first VHS I rented on my own account was The Replacements. I think the last Blockbuster VHS I rented was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The last verified new release I can remember was Super Troopers. Looks like I was never a part of the rental market...

I've floated the Ouachita from Pencil Bluff to Camp Ozark many times. Plenty of good Smallmouth in that stretch. If you are going in the summer the river will be low and you will likely have to drag across some places but the fish may be more congregated. ...

re: Cajun dishes to cook for someone that can’t have seafood?

My go to in this situation is a prairie cajun style pork gravy. It can be hard to source good smoked sausage or pork tasso outside of south Lousiana, but I feel this dish is by far the most forgiving if you have to use local or grocery store sausage as a stand in. While it can be augmented, the ba...
